Tyra solved the quadratic equation x2-10x -24 = 0by factoring. Her work is shown below: Step 1: x2-10x -24 = 0
Step 2: x2-4x - 6x - 24 = 0
Step 3: (x2-4x) + (-6x - 24) = 0
Step 4: x(x-4) - 6(x - 4)=0
Step 5: (x-4)(x-6)=0
Step 6: x-4 = 0, x-6 = 0
Step 7: x=4 or x = 6
Step 8: 4, 6

Tyra did not find the correct solutions. Investigate the steps, decipher her mistakes, and explain how to correct Tyra’s work.

Step 5 was not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Tyra cannot take x and 6 common and then remove those valuse.

d. bc = 12 and ef = 16

step-by-step explanation:

we are given that δabc : δdef such that .

also, it is given that

so, from the options, we need that .

a.

b.

c.  

d.

as, we can see that only option d gives the same ratio as i.e. .

hence, the possible lengths are bc = 12 and ef = 16.

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft
